ONLY THE YOUNG - Official Trailer (HD)
This week at the IFC Center in NYC, Oscilloscope Labs presents the opening run of its latest critically acclaimed film, Only The Young . ( Get tickets here , film folk. It looks nice!)

The show was all about new music and collaborations. When Idiot Glee started the night off, he gave [...]

Stepson (El-P & Nick Diamonds) – “Movie Tit”

Nov 30, 2012, 1:55pm Stereogum
El-P and Islands' Nick Diamonds are no stranger to collaboration - most recently, see " Stay Down " from El's excellent Cancer For Cure , or that screengrab above from their joint stop by Letterman's place - though this is the first listen from their dedicated joint-venture Stepson. "See you at the movies" is a fine and fair lyric for a song called "Movie Tit," and it's mouthed by Nick alone; on this one, at least, El-P is solely el Producer. Hear it here: Read More...

Stream Islands- A Sleep & A Forgetting

Feb 14, 2012, 11:26am The Needle Drop
Islands is the pet project of Nick Thorburn-formerly of the Unicorns-and Anti- has seen fit to put up a stream of the band's new album, which is set to berelease today! If you have listened to the songs they have released thus far from the album “This is not a song” and “Hallways” you should have fairly good indication of what you’re in store for here. There is a real catchy friendliness to the tracks here, which is largely due to the slower nature of them. It is definitely a light avant-pop album, but there isn’t anything inherently wrong with that.

Check Out: Islands – “This Is Not A Song”

Dec 5, 2011, 1:16pm Consequence Of Sound
Check Out: Islands – “This Is Not A Song” Someone folks will undoubtedly be fooled by the title, but we can confirm that Montreal avant-pop band Islands ' "This Is Not A Song" is , in fact, a song. The first single from their upcoming fourth album,  A Sleep & A Forgetting , the track is a slow, somber dose of minimalism, with creative head honcho Nick Thorburn's voice emoting with a sensual energy in some parts and practically melting to pieces in others. Call it what you will, but the cut has heaps of gravity despite its utter sparseness. Take a listen [...]

Islands Feel Abandoned by Fans, Plan Break-Up Album for Valentine's Day

Nov 11, 2011, 3:49pm Spinner.com
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases ANTI- Nick Diamonds never repeats himself. Whether he's focused on indie-rock supergroup Mister Heavenly or his main project, Islands , Diamonds -- who also co-fronted the now-defunct Unicorns -- is never short on inspiration. But his constant experimentation apparently leaves some listeners feeling a little put off. "I feel like I've lost a lot of [...]

Islands announce new album: A Sleep & A Forgetting

Oct 25, 2011, 10:14am Consequence Of Sound
Islands announce new album: A Sleep & A Forgetting After dedicating most of 2010 to his Michael Cera-aided side-project Mister Heavenly , Nick Thorburn is back to his day job as frontman of Islands .

Album Review: Mister Heavenly, Out of Love

Sep 7, 2011, 12:27am The Rotation
Album Review: Mister Heavenly, Out of Love Mister Heavenly , some would say, is an unlikely amalgam of musicians. The super group trio consists of Ryan Kattner, better known as Honus Honus of Man Man ; Nick Thorburn, also known as Nick Diamonds of The Unicorns and Islands ; and Joe Plummer, drummer for Modest Mouse . Unlikely or not, with their debut album Out of Love , they are a welcome breath of fresh air to the indie scene. The brilliance of Out of Love is its uniquely wacky combination of frivolity and heartfelt seriousness. This [...]

Album Review: Mister Heavenly – Out of Love

Aug 16, 2011, 8:00am Consequence Of Sound
Years ago (and we’re talking like four-five years ago), Man Man frontman Honus Honus expressed that he would one day like to work with The Unicorns/Islands mastermind Nick Thorburn . In the months and years that followed, they collaborated here and there and revealed that what they were cooking up was to be called “Doom-Wop.” And with the addition of the percussive expertise of Joe Plummer (The Shins, Modest Mouse), they had themselves a band. Beginning a supergroup side project is one thing. But creating a completely new genre? Lofty, to say the least, and [...]
